Where does your bike live?

Basement garage setups are the cats ass IMO. Usually automatically heated and not even out of your house slippers to work on the bike. How much freakin cooler can it be! Well... it could have a lift.

a lift would be nice...

The biggest problem with the basement workshop is, that you can't open the doors wide enough to run an engine (the whole house will smell like exhaust fumes). We'll be closing in the attached carport this summer to have another garage/workshop.

Mine lives in my dads basement for the winter but, after today it will live at home again.

In true ZUKIMON fashion, I ended up getting it for less than asking price after paying for everyone's lunch, the fuel bill and the cost of the building.

Now to finish setting it up at home and building a solid, non-skid ramp to get the bike in and out without laying it down.

looks good, just build a wooden ramp, paint it with regular paint with sand mixed into it, works damn good for Non-skid-ness

Eh, I'll drag out the welder and some agle iron and get busy with it.

I'm pretty damned handy with a welder and some steel. After all, I have been wheelin' for the last 12 years and building rigs!

My ex built some ramps that were originally for the four-wheeler but we used them to ramp the bikes in our storage building. I can't tell you exactly what he used...but maybe a pic will help.

Excuse the mess...he just chunked a bunch of shit in it...typical of him.

Depending upon how high it sits, even basic metal four-wheeler ramps work. We had a metal one we used as well and it worked with no problems.

Again...his domain....his mess.
